The Ñompany

it has became a reliable and committed partner of the leading Russian
higher education establishments. The cooperating universities and institutes
not only hold the top ratings among specific fields (medicine, engineering
sciences, the humanities, agriculture, art), but also are rated the highest
in the whole Russian higher education system. Moreover, an opportunity
is provided to apply for any of the foreign language programs (English,
French) available in the higher education establishments of Moscow. Thus,
extensive options and great opportunities are offered both to students
and our foreign colleagues and partners. At the same time, we draw attention
of the prospective students not only to already existing proposals but
also to the new projects and programs were develop in collaboration with
the universities and institutes. One of the most significant of these
new programs is the International Summer School "Space Biology and
Medicine" organized jointly by the Lomonosov Moscow State University,
Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences and
Contemporary Educational Programmes. The school introduces its students
to the history of the Soviet and Russian periods of cosmonautics, as well
as to the latest achievements of the Russian scientists in this field.
